How Dhanusha Yoga forms
This is the exact condition the check above applies.
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| The grahas | All seven, Sun through Saturn |
| The houses | The seven continuous houses from the 10th — 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4 |
| Empty | Houses 5 through 9 must contain none of the seven |
| How often it occurs | 9.8% of charts in our sample |
The fourth and last of the continuous-run yogas anchored on an angle.
What Sārāvalī says Dhanusha Yoga gives
Sārāvalī is blunt: a liar, a jailer, a thief, living in forests, and without wealth in the middle of life.
The structural reading is the mirror of Chatra. This run covers the 10th through the 4th and leaves the 5th through the 9th empty — which means the houses of merit, dharma and fortune carry nothing. A chart with action, gain and home fully occupied and no trine support behind them.
The "no wealth in the middle of life" clause is the checkable part, and it follows from the same absence: nothing in the trines to sustain the middle years between early activity and later settlement.
Ākṛti yogas — the shape the grahas make
Chāpa is the run anchored on the 10th, and the one that leaves every trine empty.
We measured it rather than guessed: across a sample of 398 charts, Dhanusha formed in 9.8% of them.
The twenty Ākṛti yogas are named for the figure the seven grahas trace across the houses — a boat, a parasol, a bow, a lotus. Sārāvalī gives the class its own result before the individual ones: a person with any Ākṛti yoga is satisfied with their own fortune, earns through authority, is dear to those in power, and is famous. The individual yoga then says what kind of person that is.
Two things true of every Nābhasa yoga
They run continuously — Sārāvalī says the Nābhasa yogas are "effective at all times independent of Daśās", which sets them apart from almost every other yoga in Jyotiṣa. And they constrain all seven grahas at once, so most charts carry only a few and a "not present" result is the ordinary answer.
How this check works
Your chart is computed from an astronomical ephemeris on the Lahiri (Citrapakṣa) ayanāṁśa, and the formation rule stated on this page is tested against it directly — the same rule, not a paraphrase. Where the classical texts disagree about a condition, the page names the reading we follow.
